Unemployed and Better than Ever
In April 2025, I was laid off from my job. Two weeks later, I lost my Mother-in-law to ovarian cancer. These changes had me reevaluating everything I had been spending my time on.
In an effort to conserve resources, I started cooking for my family. I liked it, and now I want to share it with you!
You can watch me cook and bake a variety of recipes on my YouTube channel, Holly Kay Makes.

Clicking affiliate links will help me pay my rent!
